We work best with volunteers who are self starters, passionate about lemur conservation, and want to help. LCN volunteers are active parts of our team, regularly involved in our team meetings, and recognized on our website and social media. All work is completed remotely. We appreciate that volunteers have other obligations — for school, work, and family. We will work with you to develop a project timeline that works for you.
While we typically cannot pay volunteers, there are occasionally small paid projects available once we develop a working relationship. We are happy to provide letters of recommendation, references, and help you in other ways when possible.
If you are interested in working with us, please get in touch by emailing lemurconservationnetwork@gmail.com.

Photography
The Lemur Conservation Network is always looking for photographers with photographs of lemurs or Madagascar who will give us permission to share their photos on our website and social media. We always credit the photographer and can include links to your website or social profiles if you like. Photographs can be taken at zoos or in Madagascar. Photographs of other animal or plant species that are unique to Madagascar are also welcome.
Science Communications
If you would like to get more experience with science communications, the Lemur Conservation Network is a great place to volunteer! We welcome volunteers who are interested in social media, long form writing, and creating web pages in WordPress to get in touch.
Technical Support
While our two websites are managed by a WordPress maintenance plan through WP Buffs, we occasionally have other technical needs. Our Director Lynne has a technical background, but these technical tasks often get put aside because of time constraints. For example, we could use help setting up our Google business email accounts and Google Ads for nonprofits. And, we could use another person on the team who is comfortable in WordPress and can create new pages or edit existing ones.
